I did that for a while.. I traveled on the holiday and maybe this breaks it down to what I really dislike.. on most holidays it is like the world stops.
When I traveled of course I got the flight but, I always worried about the people who were working that day and 1/2 the stores were closed. It wasn't a "full day".
I even feel a little phobic about it because I know if I get sick, the staff won't be up to full speed. I remember the fear and panic of my elderly parents getting sick on the holiday. My mom had an appendix burst on x-mas eve and it was so hard getting people to really be competent.
But, in general.. I hate the way the world stops... there is nothing on tv.. can't get mail... can't shop...
